[1,1′-Biphenyl]-2,2′-dimethanol

Description:
[1,1′-Biphenyl]-2,2′-dimethanol, with the CAS number 3594-90-9, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of two hydroxymethyl groups (-CH2OH) at the 2 and 2' positions of the biphenyl framework contributes to its chemical properties, making it a diol. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents due to its hydrophobic biphenyl core, while the hydroxymethyl groups can engage in hydrogen bonding, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents. It is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. The presence of hydroxyl groups also suggests potential applications in polymer chemistry and as a building block for more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
